This is the time of year when we're drawn to dark classic tales, such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

This striped Victorian costume is special not just for its beauty, but because two Hollywood greats wore it. Many costumes made for a star go on to be used by extras, but this particular piece has graced the silhouettes of two iconic actresses.

Designed by the legendary Adrian, it was first worn by Ingrid Bergman as Ivy Peterson in the 1941 film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It later made its appearance in the 1944 film Gaslight, worn by Angela Lansbury as Nancy Oliver, the maid.

A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson

The continuation of our little spring series, with another item by the same author, Robert Louis Stevenson. This is one of his most popular works, A Child's Garden of Verses, which has been published in numerous editions over the years. This version is part of a set, formally called the "Little Leather Library," which was changed by the publisher Robert Haas, who felt the term "leather" was misleading due to them not being bound in leather.

We have a larger set, from when it was still called the Little Leather Library, which can be seen here.

For those at UIowa it's finals week! Hopefully the weather will be nice enough to study outside, or to take some breaks! Good luck, summer break is in sight!
